A Celestial Game

WHEN

2023
WHAT

Digital photo collage printed on UV-resistant vinyl and mounted on Dibond panels

WHO

Created with contributions from Prescott School parents, teachers, and staff through the school’s communication app
WHERE

The playground



These basketball hoops are covered in photos by Prescott School families, teachers, and staff. 

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. This project is inspired by the Mesoamerican ballgame, an ancient Central American sport played with a ball on a court with hoops facing each other. Historians believe the ball may have represented the sun. Like the Mesoamerican game, our basketball hoops face east and west. 

The photos on the blue basketball backboard show sunrises near Prescott School. Photos on the pink basketball backboard show sunsets near Prescott School. A third basketball backboard near the Tiger Den, faces south and shows photos of the sky near Prescott School.
